Skiers and riders at Soda Springs can look forward to a refreshing spring weekend on the slopes! As of April 26, the snowpack measures a solid 47 inches — a little below average for this time of year — but still offering plenty of coverage for a lively day on the mountain. Overnight temperatures hovered around 41°F, keeping the snow soft yet carvable. Though the snowpack has been impacted by a warmer-than-usual winter, a fresh 0.26 inches of snowfall is in the immediate forecast, with a much more promising 11.86 inches expected over the next 72 hours. Conditions are set to improve dramatically, with the new snow enhancing both groomers and glades.

Soda Springs, California’s longest continually-running ski resort, has been making headlines for its family-friendly atmosphere and reliable late-season conditions. While California continues to grapple with an overall snow drought, recent atmospheric rivers have delivered a much-needed boost to the Sierra Nevada snowpack — and Soda Springs is reaping the rewards. Don’t miss out on the fresh powder days ahead, and if you're looking for a break from the slopes, Tube Town is currently being hailed as the best snow tubing experience in Northern California!
